It started to rain lightly in the morning, the rain and mist were like weaving, and the fine and dense raindrops were wrapped in bursts of chill.In front of Zhu's mansion, a few people carried a coffin and walked silently. There was no mourning or crying. Only these few people kept their heads down without saying a word, and gradually drifted away in the rain.

Zhu Yuan watched the coffin disappear into the vast rain from the window indifferently, then turned and walked out of the room.

In the hall on the first floor of Zhu's house, several old people from the Zhu family sat on both sides.They were discussing something, and when they saw Zhu Yuan coming down, they stopped talking without exception, and turned to look at the person in the chief seat.

Ruan Zi sat on the main seat with a smile, and waved to Zhu Yuan: "Are you finally willing to show up?"

Zhu Yuan: "..."

She glanced at the several people with different expressions in the hall from a long distance, and finally sneered: "Why, my father just died, are you planning to help an outsider take the position of the Patriarch?"

The Zhu family bowed their heads and said nothing, but Ruan Zi smiled and pressed her belly lightly.

"How can it be said that it is a seizure?"

She said softly, "Your father's child is here. He will be the future head of the Zhu family. I'm just helping him eliminate some unnecessary factors."

"Yo, I have children, who's?"

Zhu Yuan laughed sharply, "It's not my father's, after all, he was inhumane a few years ago."

This sentence undoubtedly contained an astonishing news, but none of the Zhu family members reacted, as if they already knew it.

"..."

Zhu Yuan's eyes were slightly cold, she took a step forward, and said loudly: "Are all of you people useless? Look up at me!"

other people:"……"

"It seems they don't quite agree with your words."

Ruan Zi covered her lips and smiled softly.

"In this case, please ask Miss Zhu to leave here?"

Zhu Yuan: "Leave? You are an outsider, trying to force me to leave?!"

Ruan Zi said: "It's not that I forced you, look, they obviously don't recognize you... Hey, I said that I want to expel Miss Zhu from Zhu's house, do you have any opinions?"

"..."

Still no one answered.

Zhu Yuan realized something, and her face changed slightly.

Ruan Zi relaxed and leaned back in the chair, and said, "Then please, Miss Zhu."

She made a gesture of invitation to Zhu Yuan with a smile on her face, and immediately several members of Zhu's family stood up and strode towards Zhu Yuan.

These Zhu family members seemed to really want to drive her out. Zhu Yuan gritted her teeth and stared at them for a while, before they touched her, she took a few steps back, raised her hand and gave Ruan Zi a cold touch, and said, "What are you doing?" I remember!"

Ruan Zi: "I remember."

Zhu Yuan: "..."

She turned around and slammed the door of Zhu's house open, and rushed into the rain without looking back.

Tick, tick.

The raindrops hit the muddy floor, splashing a spray of water.Standing alone in the rain, Zhu Yuan took a deep breath facing the Zhu family and made a special gesture.

A little Gu worm crawled out of the ground rustlingly, and circled around Zhu's house.It was only after it got into the mud again that Zhu Yuan's expression changed completely.

"how is this possible……"

A terrified look appeared on her face, and even her voice trembled slightly.

"How is it possible...all of them are dead?!"

"Are you surprised?"

An elegant and indifferent voice sounded behind her, Zhu Yuan was taken aback, turned her head and saw Shen Qing holding a black umbrella, looking up at Zhu Zhai not far away, and after a few seconds, she turned her gaze to on her.

Zhu Yuan: "..."

She was speechless for a few seconds, and suddenly said angrily: "You already knew?!"

"Are you referring to the fact that the people in Zhu's house turned into the living dead overnight?"

Shen Qing said, "I only found out now."

"……etc,"

Zhu Yuan said, "Then what's the purpose of your coming here now? Are you going to hand us over to the Yao Neighborhood Committee again?!"

Shen Qing stared at her inexplicably for a few seconds, sneered slightly, and said, "You probably haven't figured out one thing. From the beginning to the end, I was not for you, but for myself."

Zhu Yuan stared at him coldly: "You have already said this sentence once."

"Yes, if you forget again, I can remind you again."

Shen Qing said lightly, and walked to another place.

That direction was where Zhu Mao was buried. Zhu Yuan caught up with him a few steps and said, "What do you want to do?"

"Go and see your father's body,"

Shen Qing said, "What if you look like your mother again?"

Zhu Yuan frowned, said nothing, but rushed over with him.

They met coffin bearers on the way. Several people carried the coffin and walked lifelessly in the rain, their limbs were stiff, and they were another group of living dead.

The Gu worm crawled up the back of the neck along the bodies of the group of people, injecting the toxin, and they all fell down without saying a word.

Zhu Yuan walked over quickly, and the Gu worm then climbed onto the coffin.The coffin lid was quickly gnawed away, sawdust flying, and the scene inside was also presented to the two of them.

At the bottom of the coffin lay a charred scarecrow. The scarecrow's twisted limbs were still stretched on both sides of the coffin, making a posture of struggling to get up.

— except for this scarecrow, there is no one in it.

"..."

Zhu Yuan tightly gripped the coffin, her nails carved into the wood.

At the same time, a rush of black air shot up from Zhu's house, roaring like a ghost.

Shen Qing glanced back and said, "Refine the formation."

Zhu Yuan immediately understood what he meant—her father and other members of the Zhu family were used to train formations.

She immediately ran over there, her hair flying in the wind, and the cold rain hitting her face, blurring her vision.

boom -

The Zhu family's main house collapsed in the rain, and the ground was covered with rubble and rubble mixed in the mud.Zhu Yuan almost fell, but was caught by Shen Qing.

A person fell from a height and hit the ground like a rag, splashing rain all over the place.

Zhu Yuan took a step back in astonishment.

——That person is Ruan Zi.

"……cough."

The muddy water mixed with blood stained the woman's pretty face, but when she raised her head, something even more terrifying happened.

A piece of human skin fell off her face. Under the skin was not bright red flesh and blood, but...another piece of skin.

Zhu Yuan: "..."

She suffered several ups and downs in a day, and she felt that she could not speak.

A tall and tall man walked out of the abandoned Zhu family's house, Shen Qing slowly walked a few steps there, and the man took the umbrella away.

"Is it cold?"

The young man's hand that had been warmed by him turned cold in an instant. Qin Mo put a coat on him and held his hand again.

Shen Qing said: "It's okay."

He looked around at Zhu's house and asked, "Is the Zhu family dead?"

"No."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuan immediately shifted her attention to Ruan Zi to the pile of ruins.

In the ruins lay several figures crooked and crooked, and Zhu Mao stood out among them.Zhu Yuan ran over to check and found that although their lives were still there, their mana was gone.

Ruan Zi over there slowly got up from the ground, brushed aside the wet black hair on her forehead, and looked up at Shen Qing.

As soon as she raised her head, another piece of her face fell off, revealing most of the underlying skin.

Shen Qing stared at it for a few seconds, raised her eyebrows in surprise and said, "So it's you."

Ruan Zi slowly raised the corners of her lips.

"It's me. I didn't expect that not long after we parted, my husband's younger brother hooked up with a demon..."

She giggled, tearing off the face of "Ruan Zi" that remained on her face, revealing her original face——

Qin Mo's missing brother-in-law, Yang Rong.

Shen Qing said: "Your Qin family is really busy."

Qin Mo hooked his jaw, and said in a calm tone, "She is not from the Qin family."

"...Yang Rong?"

Zhu Yuan came out of the ruins just in time to hear this sentence.

She stared at Yang Rong for a while, and said, "I remember Mom adopted a girl before, and that girl was renamed Yang Rong after she was sent away."

"Yo, it's hard for Miss Zhu to remember me."

Yang Rong raised her eyebrows and said, "That's right, it's me."

"It's really you!"

Zhu Yuan said, "What exactly do you want to take away from the Zhu family?!"

"Take what? Oh, that's not a good way to say it."

Yang Rong said, "Of course I came back to repay the favor, to repay the kindness of the Zhu family for adopting me—and throwing me away like garbage."

Zhu Yuan: "You—"

"lie."

Shen Qing calmly interrupted her from the side.

"I lied?"

Yang Rong looked at him again, "I have nothing to lie, but Mr. Ji... I really want to know how you found me now."

"You're too confident in yourself,"

Shen Qing said, "The scarecrow sent to attack me has your breath."

"...Are you talking nonsense?"

Yang Rong's face changed slightly, but she still smiled, "I never let those scarecrows attack you, even if I'm stupid, I wouldn't be so stupid."

"Oh?"

Shen Qing said, "Then it seems that someone wants to harm you—such as the person who ordered you to do all this behind the scenes?"

"...I don't have anyone who instructs me, and I don't need it."

"Not necessarily."

Shen Qing said lightly, "If there is no one to help you, how can you walk out of Zhu's basement by yourself?"

"what?!"

Two voices sounded at the same time, one was Zhu Yuan and the other was Yang Rong.

Yang Rong glanced at Zhu Yuan, turned around and ran away.

The black flame jumped up and flew in front of her almost instantly.The flesh on Yang Rong's face was burned by the fire. She let out a scream and fell down in front of Zhu Yuan.

Zhu Yuan raised her head and looked at Shen Qing for a few seconds, then suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Yang Rong's hair, then froze in place.

Shen Qing said plainly: "This is the real her, does she look familiar?"

The layer of flesh that belonged to Yang Rong faded away, revealing another face.

That was the real face of this woman, and it was also the face that Zhu Yuan was all too familiar with.

——The dead Zhu family, Zhu Mu, her... mother.
